Ashton and I have decided to add more veggies (and less sugar and fried food) to our diet so we now try to eat salads for dinner 3-4 times a week.
At first I was bummed about this decision but I now enjoy coming up with clever salad combos. I have made seafood lettuce wraps and fun taco salads along with summertime pea salad and more traditional chicken cobb salad. But this time I decided to go way out of the box and use a favorite steak house combo of mine: roast beef and horseradish! I added spinach, hearty roasted veggies and crunchy onions and low and behold I had a delicious roast beef salad! I can’t wait to share my next salad night creation with you! Remember: salad night doesn’t have to be boring 🙂

I love roast veggies! Check out my roasting tips: here
Here I simply roasted asparagus and quartered red potatoes
tossed with olive oil and salt and pepper.
I’m a huge fan of horseradish sauce so I thought why not add it to a salad?
This dressing is thick and creamy and perfectly compliments the roast beef and veggies.
I cut the mushrooms in half so they keep their texture and size on the salad.
I usually use sweet yellow onion in most of my recipes but I decided to use raw red onion for this dish. It adds a nice crunch and a delicious “oniony” bite!
Warm the roast beef in beef broth over low. This also adds more flavor and makes it tender and juicy!
I make sure to buy good quality Angus Roast Beef that is thin cut and rare.
Plate the salad with spinach topped with onions. Then add veggies and roast beef.
Top with the creamy dressing and serve. Roast beef isn’t just for sandwiches anymore!
